There are so many romance books out there that focus on the life after and during war of good old fashioned war-hero hotties! And I do love my war hero's very much, but it really does not happen a lot that I find a book that focuses on war but instead of a hero we find a war heroine.
In the new read from Susan Carlisle she takes her readers on a journey of life after war from a war heroine's side, and shows just how tough it is to try and bounce back from what is seen over on the other side.
The read tells of Dr Bailey Walker and how she needs to learn to face her fears when meeting the man of her dreams too-hot-too-handle Kyle Campbell. She knows he is everything she needs to avoid this Christmas but when they get close enough to touch the heat bubbles to the top faster than you can say "Ready,set GO!"
The main characters of Kyle and Bailey were both super excellent and I truly enjoyed the heat between them and I found their compassion towards each other simply wonderful.
The author did a magnificent job at guiding me as reader through the terror Bailey faces. The descriptions of how she reacts to noise and the true fear she endures. I particularly loved that Kyle himself also has some issues of fear he needs to face to be able to get back out there.
It made the two main characters so much alike and I found myself entranced with wanting to keep reading to see how they will help each other.
The backdrop settings were a little bit of excitement and a lot of Christmas magic! The dialogue was one of those that I always find emotional but not so much to the point where you feel your heart is breaking but rather one that makes you truly live the feelings and experiences of the characters, urging you on to keep rooting for them as you know the end will be one of the most magical endings ever,and so worth it.
I am taking away a message that fears can be overcome when you are able to take a moment and look at the people that have come into your life, there is always a reason for them showing up when you did not want anyone near.
I recommend this read for all fans of Christmas romance reads, sensual, sweet and very sexy!

SNOWBOUND WITH DR DELECTABLE by author Susan Carlisle is a November 2013 release by Harlequin and Mills & Boon Medical Romance series.
Kyle Campbell doesn’t want to be on the slopes but due to unforeseen circumstance, he had to stand in for his colleague as volunteer for a week. For patrolling the skiing slopes. And the patrol head, Baylie Walker certainly didn’t want him there. Because sparks flew at their first meeting. They rubbed each other the wrong way, or maybe it was the right way?
Because they ended up sharing more than the patrolling job between them. Would their passion make them forget their past and allow them to move on?
SNOWBOUND WITH DR DELECTABLE was a fast paced, moving, uplifting and feel good romance. Packed with witty dialogue, intense emotion and sizzling love scenes. A poignant story about letting go of the past and seizing the day. The author Susan Carlisle took us on a skiing journey with her characters. The atmospheric details were
realistically depicted amid all the medical drama.

Dr. Delectable is Kyle Campbell, a handsome, charismatic man who harbors a painful secret. When asked to replace a friend as a medic in a ski resort, he reluctantly agrees to take his place because it's only for a few days.
Dr. Baylie Walker is the head of the medical team that services the ski resort that Dr. Campbell doesn't want to be at. She is happy with her job as she gets to ski and take care of people. She also harbors a secret that keeps her from having any real relationships, and she works very hard to keep it that way. Until she meets Dr. Campbell.
Both are independent, self-sufficient and stubborn. He does his best to pursue her and she does her best to push him away. So what happens when two of the same personality clash? Sparks fly! But they must work together so they soon learn how to smooth each other's feathers and find out they really do like each other.
This is a very well written and positive story about letting people in and accepting help through love. They both, in their own ways, push the other to conquer their fears and earn love in return.

Great read for winter or any season!
I really enjoyed Carlisle's Snowbound with Dr. Delectable! the dynamic between Baylie and Kyle is believable and the ski resort setting is real enough that I felt like I was there, even though I've never been on skis. And you don't have to be a fan of medical scenarios to love this story because the build-up of heat in the romance through the medical encounters is natural, not forced. I found myself reading faster to see what would finally bring the change in their relationship. I can't say exactly what I loved about the ending without spoiling it for another reader, but when you get to the end, you'll see why I loved it! I read this book in one evening and only wished it had been longer.

I loved this book! While the story takes place over the Christmas holidays, it avoids becoming saccharin by focusing on the relationship between individuals who are working so hard they barely have time to notice the season. Moreover, they are dealing with issues from their pasts that make them determined NOT to fall in love again. Both hero and heroine are realistic and likable; the fast pace and the growing heat kept me turning the pages until the satisfying conclusion. I can hardly wait to see what Susan Carlisle comes up with next!

This was a fun read. Again, very damaged protags, but in a believable setting. They came together, realized that each one needed to each heal before they could help heal the other. I enjoyed the mountain setting, even though I am not (and won't ever be!) a skier. Sweet.

I read this book because of a conversation with an old friend. Liz had called looking for solar eclipse glasses and after catching up on family, she mentioned an ebook by her cousin. That was recommendation enough for me to read it. I'm glad I did. I'll be on the lookout for more books by Susan Carlisle.
